NEW POST 🗞️ The world’s leading left-wing football clubs 📣 Politics and football mix on both sides of the political spectrum. In the suburbs of Hamburg, London, Dublin, Paris, and beyond, interesting movements are happening. Read on… open.substack.com/pub/outsidew...

I think this is the first bar I’ve visited with a painting of the Tirpitz on the wall.

Moving day. Fortunately, the sun is shining!

It’s no surprise that foreign tourism to the U.S. has declined dramatically.

Don’t travel to the USA! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I suspect the beginning of the end of the monarchy in this country. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Morons. I hope you’re proud of yourselves.

Just had an announcement at Dulwich Hamlet “Last call for the giant bag of mature cheddar found in the clubhouse!” Only in non league!

7 for me.

Done this, just in case Bluesky gets banned in the USA. Also I’m sure Elmo will hate it!

Lip up Fatty.

So, Jim Ratcliffe is just another rich racist.

I visited a public house earlier this evening and drank some beer.

Planet of the Sausages.

@trakky22.bsky.social One for your reading list!

“I was only following orders.” I don’t think that defence counts as being valid, Kristi.

The Dutch said it right.

The (as far as I know) last surviving Auxiliary Fire Service pumping station on the Thames at Charlton. Still hanging on!

The Anchor & Hope on the Thames Path at Charlton. Closed when the owner sadly passed away and now looking very unlikely ever to re-open.

One of my pet hates on the Elizabeth Line this morning. Utter moron.

Indicative of the halfwits currently running the USA and the halfwit-in-chief. (Apologies to all halfwits out there, as these people don’t even have half a wit between them.)

If you’re thinking of going to the US for holiday, World Cup or business, you need to think again. Trump’s Goon Squad doesn’t have boundaries, if you’re a living being you can be targeted. Gift link.

@footballandwar.bsky.social is looking forward to this event on the 17th March. Another great collaboration with @chathmuseum.bsky.social and @blitzwalker.bsky.social that will include a talk by @spiritof47.bsky.social and a Q&A with @verypopularname.bsky.social Places are limited More Info below

1. The tariffs are paid by US consumers 2. Greenland isn't for sale 3. Go f**k yourself

Repost with your home river. The Thames - endlessly fascinating. Not like me!

Don’t let Farage, Badenoch, or any of their cronies tell you otherwise. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

THREAD/Today marks the 85th anniversary of one of the more notorious incidents from the London Blitz, which sadly was an exception to the usual rule that Underground stations were safe and secure places to sit (or sleep) through an air raid. on 11 January 1941, the alert had recently sounded and...

Pre-match offering at The Green Goddess!

Thanks to @darryl1974.bsky.social, @blitzwalker.bsky.social & @vincerai.bsky.social for taking me to my first ever @charltonathletic.bsky.social match as well as the excellent @chathmuseum.bsky.social! And thanks for the wonderful @modmag.bsky.social zine! Fingers crossed for the cup match tonight!

This⬇️ There is zero reason why any decent government, organisation or individual should retain even a dormant presence on Twitter. The time for excuses for remaining has long passed.

And that, England cricketers, is how you bat in a test match. Grind the opposition into the dust.

Happy Easter everyone!

So much for Dry January.

In case we get overtaken by events later, I’d like to wish all of you nice people out there a happy and healthy 2026. We can only hope for better times ahead.

Another excellent thread ⬇️

Another excellent thread from Ian which gives us a fireman’s view of the Blitz. ⬇️

THREAD/As mentioned earlier, today marks the 85th anniversary of the "Second Great Fire of London", an incendiary raid that started fires to spread over an area larger than the original Great Fire of 1666. It was raid that led to a change in the wartime legislation that enforced businesses...

Today marks the 85th anniversary of the Luftwaffe's fire raid on the City of London, which became known as the "Second Great Fire of London". Here we see a group of London firefighters in Cheapside on the morning of 30 December after no doubt an exhausting night at work. This raid also gave rise to

Saw a Mummers play in the pub tonight, in which Donald Trump met his end by being run through with a sword (although he did seem to be revived later in the performance, unfortunately!)

Book the open top bus, plan the parade, knighthoods all round! I actually haven’t enjoyed this test match at all - it’s almost been like one of those joke, beer matches that they used to play when a club game finished early, reversing the batting order and letting everyone have a bowl.

I see the clown car cricket has returned again after the relative sanity of Adelaide.

The big man is on his way!
